How about some reports gang? We've got walleye in the Detroit River, bass on the feed and a turkey opener coming...

With all this going on and longer days to boot, it's hard to get back on the PC. But let's try to stay in touch.

Fished the Detroit River yesterday with guide Kevin Long. Most fish were in the 15 to 18 inch range. Caught 32 total and kept our limits for dinner tonite.

Fishing has been great on both the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers for eye's. The scads of fish that were sublegal last year (under 13") are all 15+ eaters now.

My wife is due to pop with our 2nd child Jordan any day now so....my spring has been less than normal. My son Joshua (nearly 4 now) and I went up to Pigeon River State Forest last weekend for our last outing with him as an only child. We slept in the Quigley van and just mushroom hunted, ate over an open fire and snuggled alot. The morrel picking was spotty at best, due to an extremely dry spring the north part of the state has had...that is until this past week.

I haven't heard much about the smallie fishing this spring. But alot of the guys don't talk that much anymore since the DNR does frown on pre-season catch and release and will write you up. The actual smallie spawn on St. Clair is usually pretty late, so personally it doesn't bother me if guys practice catch and release, as long as the fish aren't on beds yet. It's been a fairly warm spring, so the fish are probably already cutting sand right now.

But what I really hate to admit is that I'm already gearing up for next years hard water season. I'm looking for an off-season deal on a Grand Touring Skidoo. That way I've got all summer to customize it for my shanty, auger,GPS, etc.

Good luck to everyone and I'll post when momma finally pops.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
